Promote ELD Acceptance and Improve Hours of Service (HOS) Compliance across your Organization

As of December 2017, the U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has begun to enforce the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) rules. The Canadian government is looking to follow suit by 2020. This means changes to the normal routine – the recent ELD mandate has caused companies some difficulty, and some drivers and dispatch staff are resistant to the new requirements. However, drivers, planners, and dispatch staff need to understand that this ELD mandate is here to stay.

Join this session, where safety and compliance expert James Beaudoin will discuss the strategies to promote the use of electronic logging devices. James will cover some change management strategies and incentives that can help your organization get over the hump.
